Sakamoto

Sakamoto is Godai's best friend and fellow college student. They first met while attending classes in order to prepare for their make-up college entrance exams. Thats right, they both failed their first attempts at getting into college. As luck would have it, Sakamoto and Godai both ended up getting accepted into the same third-rate university after passing their exams. Godai couldn't ask for a better friend than Sakamoto. When he's abset, Sakamoto answers roll for him, he gets his schoolwork, lets Godai stay with him after fights with Kyoko, and even helps Godai get jobs.

Sakamoto never gets tired of hearing about Godai's problems with Kyoko. He is the sounding board Godai uses to bounce ideas off before he tries them on Kyoko. Although this might not be the best idea, because Sakamoto has never been able to stay in a relationship for more than a few weeks at a time. In fact, whenever he appears he has a different girlfriend from the last time.

Sakamoto and Godai are very much like brothers. They bicker a lot, but deep down they love each other more than either would like to admit. Sakamoto takes care of Godai through thick and thin, and Godai always reciprocates to the best of his meager abilities.


The Meaning Behind the Name - 坂本

Sakamoto is a very common name and the kanji used for the writing are very typical. In this case it is written with "hill" and "book". Nothing unusual here.
